Hermaphrodite Specimen of Lyccena Alexis. — I captured 

 an extraordinary variety of Lycaena Alexis near this place on 

 the oth instant. The two wings on one side resemble those 

 of an ordinary male, whilst the two on the other side are like 

 those of an ordinary female Alexis, the characteristic mark- 

 ings of each sex being very distinct. Although I captured 

 several more "blues," which were common in the locality, 

 I did not succeed in procuring another specimen of this 

 variety. — James H. Rotvnfree ; JVestwood, Scarborough.

 tattered condition. — IV. Edwards ; 1, Abbey Terrace, Great
